all 5 speakers should be identical and full range. short of that, the thx spec of setting all 5 speakers to small and xover at 80 for all 5 is the surest option

mixing large and small speakers leads to less than optimal listening.

Bosso, since money's an issue for many people including me, and since the front speakers usually have more sound and dynamics than the surround speakers, a case can be made for using better speakers in front and lesser speakers as surrounds. It's cheaper than using identical large speakers, all around. And should sound better in general than using small speakers all around. Using small speakers all around would not be a better solution, unless there's as much sound and dynamic range from the surround speakers as is from the front speakers. I'd love to get full range speakers all around, but can't afford it. Fortunately unlike Iggy the Dog, I don't have sensitive dog-ears.
